About 8 Man After

Here is what 8 Man After (Eightman After) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, sci-fi and drama anime by J.C.Staff (1993). At its core: Private detective Hazama Itsuru is hired by Professor Tani to investigate a cyborg parts theft which in time leads him to meet Sachiko Yokogawa, the original 8 Man's love interest. Living her new life working for the Biotecho Corp., Sachiko stumbles on herself involved with a new 8 Man, who appears after Hazama is fatally wounded by an unknow cyborg.

Beyond that: Amidst a violent urban background with cyber-junkies creating chaos around the metropolis, this other 8 Man will confront criminals in a more agressive way.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
